The market is giving buyers a narrow lane, not a wide one
For buyers, the real question is how much room there is to wait. In Warren, RI, inventory was 1 month last month and the typical sale took 18 days, so I would treat readiness as part of the strategy, not a detail to handle later.
Last month's numbers tell me buyers need to stay organized. With inventory at 1 month and a typical 18-day sale timeline, the window to compare, decide, and act is not especially wide. That kind of pace changes how I would look at each listing. A strong home can draw attention fast, and a buyer who waits too long may end up competing with more urgency than expected. Have your search narrowed. Review recent sold prices before you tour. Then be ready to move when the right home checks the boxes instead of hoping it stays available.
